HOTEL CONTINENTAL, Whitstable

Hotel Continental - A classic British seaside hotel with seaview dining and Fisherman's Huts

Hotel Continental sits on Whitstable's seafront, featuring 24 stylish yet small rooms with crisp white-painted wooden shutters, flat-screen TVs, and tea and coffee facilities. The refurbished seaview Bistro serves Anglo-French dishes, including Whitstable oysters and local cod in beer batter, while the Bar and Brasserie offers French-style menus overlooking the Thames Estuary. Guests can stay in one of 12 historic Fisherman's Huts, which include breakfast served at the hotel, or choose from standard, deluxe, and family rooms with sea or non-sea views. The hotel is a short walk from Whitstable Harbour, High Street, and Tankerton Beach, with Kent Downs and Milton Creek Country Park nearby for outdoor activities. All rooms feature free WiFi, and the hotel operates a public Bar and Restaurant specializing in local produce.
